Paul Harris argues that affluent people everywhere are, by their contributions to climate change, violating the rights of the poor. He makes a powerful case for focusing on individual rights and responsibilities in the framework of a new world ethic. I hope this book will be widely read, and acted upon.--Peter Singer, Professor of Bioethics, Princeton University This accessible book is highly recommended reading for all interested in international climate change, especially those seeking perspectives beyond the usual policy fare. --Friedrich Soltau, Division for Sustainable Development, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs Climate Law
